The media and the JFK assassination

[David Sellers]

Yesterday driving home from court I turned on talk radio for a few moments to see how the hate radio folks were dealing with the murders in Ariz. on Sat. As I suspected one of them -Neal Boortz- brought up Dallas. Only to say that JFK was killed not be a conservative but by LHO who was a "Commie".

He has to know better but, like most of the mainstream media, used the tragedy in Arizona to continue the disinformation both about who killed JFK and about who LHO was.

The media is and always has been our greatest enemy when trying to educate the general public regarding the truth about the assassination. Many still believe that the media is truthful on events of this magnitude.

Letters and emails to members of the press have zero effect. Email garners a one sentence response thanking the sender but shows no indicia of understanding or change in thinking.

As we appraoch the 50th anniversary of the murder of JFK I would like to find ways of changing this.

Ideas?

This is because there will eventually be only six companies that own virtually all media outlets, but take my word for it:

We know in the not too distant future, a half dozen corporations are going to control the media. We took this step (merger) to ensure we were one of them. -- AOL/Time Warner spokesperson.
